Decontamination Room

Dedicated outdoor entrance to ensure other emergency patients and staff are not potentially contaminated. Shower facilities to wash off hazardous materials and contaminants. Separate ventilation system. Run-off water containing any contaminants is stored in an underground storage tank until it can be safely disposed of.

Pediatric Area

Children are cared for in a separate pediatric area of the Center for Emergency Care, where outstanding timely care is delivered by a skilled clinical team that includes board certified emergency medicine physicians and specially trained physician assistants and registered nurses. Through a partnership with The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a CHOP hospitalist is on-site 24/7 to consult on emergency cases involving infants, children and adolescents in UMCPP’s Center for Emergency Care.
